Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction

Botticelli, Holbein, Leonardo, Durer, Michelangelo: the names are familiar, as are many of the works. But who were these artists, why did they produce such memorable images, and how would their original beholders have viewed these objects? This book answers such questions by considering both famous and lesser-known artists, patrons, and works of art from the period.
